I love that sequence. Nothing but Ollie's JLA pals calling him an idiot for even considering the idea, with Olliee looking more and more dejected in each panel, culminating in Clark Kent of all people telling him that "two public figures with a beard would blow your secret identity."

Scipio, what's the basis believing that Barbara's Congressional gig in no longer canon? I thought the same thing until I noticed recently that Nightwing Year One has a timeline, which refers to Dick having worked as a staffer on Babs' Congressonal staff. If there is a DC statement elsewhere that this was retconned out then somebody has some 'splainin' to do.

Well, it haven't seen it mentioned at all post-Crisis, and that's been 20 years now...

Pfah. DC has never had any concrete rules as to what "happened" post-Crisis and what "didn't happen". It's pretty much been left up to the writers and artists to do whatever they felt like, and if they contradict each other, so what?

Did Green Arrow ever wear the "beardless" costume? Were the Seven Soldiers of Victory ever thrown back through time? Was Superman an original JLAer? Duela Dent? There are almost as many different answers as there have been DC staffers since 1986.

I am a Green Arrow fan. I admit that he was originally conceived as a knock-off of Batman. That's true of half the super-heroes created in the 1940s, and the other half were conceived as knock-offs of Superman.

Yep, it's been mentioned a LOT. Except that the Spider (GA's replacement, Post-Crisis) betrayed them and that's why Wing had to DIE.

Was Superman an original JLAer?

Nope. The JLA: Year One put it in concrete, thought it's always been understood that neither Supes nor Bats were original JLAers.

Duela Dent?

There you've got me. She's definitely not Joker or Two-Face's daughter, that's been well established by now, but they've never given her a definitive answer. I do believe she appeared in the latest issue of Infinite Crisis, though, fighting Superboy from Earth-Prime with the JSA and Teen Titans.

Yep, as seen in the JLA: Year One series.But in Secret Origins #39, Green Arrow: The Wonder Year, and Secret Origins Annual #3, he was shown in the Neal Adams costume at points in time when he definitely should have been in the original suit.

Were the Seven Soldiers of Victory ever thrown back through time?

Yep, it's been mentioned a LOT. Except that the Spider (GA's replacement, Post-Crisis) betrayed them and that's why Wing had to DIE.And yet, in El Diablo #12, Vigilante appeared and had aged normally. (They later explained this in Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., I know, but still.)
